ABOUT TOTO
Over the past decade, TOTO has had a major renaissance in popularity like few bands at this
point in their career. No individual statistic exhibits this more than achieving the milestone of 3
billion cumulative streams of their collected works. Individually and collectively, the band’
family tree can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a
half a billion albums. Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with
hundreds of Grammy nominations. Amongst the most listened to recordings, “Africa” accounts
for over one billion streams at Spotify alone. The song was recertified by the RIAA 8X Platinum.
They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70’s bands that have endured the changing trends
and styles continuing to remain relevant while enjoying their multi-generational global fan
base. Joining Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams are band members bassist John Pierce (Huey
Lewis and The News), drummer Robert “Sput” Searight (Ghost-Note, Snoop Dogg), keyboardist
/ background vocalist Steve Maggiora, keyboardist / background vocalist Dominique “Xavier”
Taplin (Prince, Ghost-Note), and multi-instrumentalist / vocalist Warren Ham (Ringo Starr).
With now 45+ years together and literally thousands of credits, including the biggest selling
album of all time: Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and accolades to their names, TOTO remains one
of the top selling touring and recording acts in the world. They are the benchmark by which
many artists base their sound and production, and they continue to transcend the standards set
by the entire music community, being simply synonymous with musical credibility. They are pop
culture and are one of the few 70’s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles
continuing to remain relevant.
